#Trump warned #CreditCard crackdown will trigger #FinancialCrisis for millions

Story by Melissa Lawford, Tom Saunders, 1/12/2026

“Consumers denied credit cards will be forced to turn to loan sharks whose rates and terms will be vastly worse for borrowers.”

The BPI said the cap would 'be devastating for millions of American families and small business owners … the very consumers this proposal intends to help'. The ABA said the move would push consumers towards 'less regulated, more costly alternatives'." [Like #PayDayLoans!]

@RickiTarr This is what I don't understand about Muskzuckos. With a snap they could end misery for tens, hundreds of millions. You can quibble about the Gates fdn and whether mosquito nets are actually effective, but that money is at least _trying_ to do something. Carnegie (evil, but..) built libraries and institutions that hit above their class to this day.

Picture this: a global online penny jar; micro-fund small biz loans, avoid predatory #paydayloans or help #mutualaid requests.

$300 payday loan → $660 in fees → still owe $300

Payday loans look like short‑term cash advances, but they’re made to trap:

$45 fee every two weeks (≈ 391% APR)

Balance never drops unless you pay extra toward principal.
After 16 weeks: $360 in fees, and you still owe the original $300

Even if you manage $50 toward principal each period, you still pay $450 total - but at least you’re free in 16 weeks.

Legal loan‑sharking. Plain and simple.
